"I've spotted the other magician as well during our stay." Childermass, not Norrell. But at least in Strange's mind, Childermass counts enough as a magician. After all, England's full of magicians, some of them simply didn't know how to use their magic. Not until now, that is.

No comment about that drearier magician part. Secretly, Strange agrees with the Gentleman.

"I haven't seen him at the dance, though—I'm glad you spotted him. Truth be told, I thought he would not show! This hardly seems like his style."
